2nd Annual Oregon Winter Hang! Jan 18-20th

[bgraybackpacker]

LOL scout a few spots.. It would be hard to flick a quarter and not hit a good spot there. I figure the main area and where most people will be camping is the same spot we used last year. There was a reason we were there. There are no shortage of hanging spots.

You can hang close to the group or have your own spot if you prefer.
Plenty of options, no need to worry about that.

Ah gary why do you have to ruin my percieved good will towards others. Now I gotta start all over with santa get back on his good list.

Still the same

Lets start a role call. I know that since December first the following people have indicated that they will/ might come at any point during the weekend. This does not mean if you do not respond that you can not come. It would be nice to be surprised.

Early? Sure, my leave doesn't end till next Tuesday. If I happen to fall upon someone's preplanned spot on accident, I don't mind moving, no, really I don't! I may end up moving anyway's as this will be my first time at this location, so I don't know exactly where everyone will be yet.
